An amusing video has emerged of a man trying to film a deer with a drone and accidentally clipping power lines and crashing the quadcopter.

The footage, filmed in Piedmont, Oklahoma, USA last week, shows the quadcopter moving at speed in high winds, before it clatters into the power line and plunges to the ground.

The filmer later wrote online: "[I] was out flying my ZMR250 on my in-laws farm, when I thought I saw a coyote through my FPV camera.

"When I turned to see what it was, it was a deer."

"I wanted to film it, but the winds and a power line clipping my antenna changed my plans," he continued.

"Had a pretty hard crash, but nothing was broken on the quad except the props (lost all four)."

Was out flying my ZMR250 on my in-laws farm, when I thought I saw a coyote through my FPV camera. When I turned to see what it was, it was a deer. I wanted to film it, but the winds and a power line clipping my vTX antenna changed my plans. Had a pretty hard crash, but nothing was broken on the quad except the props (lost all four).

I have been in the hobby of building and flying quads FPV for just under a year. I would like to get into some FPV quad racing, but still have a long ways to go with my skills of both building and flying.
